[QUOTE="Felisek, post: 509230, member: 23887"] While having my Saturday walk I stumbled upon this kestrel sitting on a tree next to a footpath. It looked very sad. [ATTACH type="full" width="30%"]187762._xfImport[/ATTACH] A few of its feathers were sticking out, which made me think that it was injured. [ATTACH type="full" width="30%"]187763._xfImport[/ATTACH] It let me approach very close. [ATTACH type="full" width="30%"]187764._xfImport[/ATTACH] The last picture was taken from about 10-15 feet.
